Midea Launches World’s First Eco-Friendly Air Conditioner Certified by Blue Angel

MILAN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Midea Group, the world leading home appliances manufacturer announced on
March 14th that its All Easy Series R-290 residential split
systems air conditioner recently became the first of its kind to obtain
the Blue Angel Certification for its ultra-low global warming potential
(GWP), high energy efficiency, low noise, and stringent material safety
control, which provides a mass-producible, efficient and reliable
solution for the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. The Blue
Angel Certification, owned by the German Federal Ministry for the
Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety,
represents the highest standards for energy efficiency, health and
environment-friendliness of home appliances.

As air-polluting and climate-warming gases pose threat to the earth, the
air conditioner industry is facing higher requirements especially after
the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol was enacted. To develop
Amendment-compliant air conditioner products has become the ultimate
goal for every air conditioner enterprise.

The Midea team spent nine years to solve all technical problems and
develop core components, including the R-290 compressor, the heat
exchanger, and the electronic expansion valve and formed the unique flow
routes, variable frequency electrical control and safety protection
schemes. With multiple breakthroughs in energy efficiency, safety, noise
reduction and material control, Midea R-290 product had obtained over
200 domestic and international patents before it was finally awarded the
Blue Angel Certification. And as it has a much lower GWP, it's a major
breakthrough in F-Gas regulation.

As Midea celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the core technology
of R-290 was displayed along with other Midea products at Mostra
Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) 2018, a leading international exhibition
dedicated to comfort & living technology from March 13th
to 16th in Milan. And the news was also announced at the
Times Square, New York City.
